Assume a Noble - Standard speed game (my level )
I find it difficult to judge how well I'm doing in the game. Sometimes I seem to be doing well, but will fall behind suddenly without a good explanation. Sometimes I play the opening and end up far far behind in the middle ages.
What I want to know is how do you measure your ingame performance. What are your key performance indicators?
Off the top of my head, I can think of things like:
What other indicators do you look at and what are the levels you're looking for in a game at certain times (say, 3000BC, 2000BC, 1000BC, 375BC, 250AD, 800AD, e.g. every 25 turns)
I know that every game is different, but having benchmark levels makes measuring my game easier. It can also give me a clue which dial I should turn so to speak. So if I'm doing fine on e.g. beakers and tech, but lousy on amount of cities, I know that what a possible culprit in my game is and how to improve.
Any help for a poor little Noble player?

Off the top of my head, I can think of things like:
- Amount of cities owned
- Total number of population
- Amount of hammers in biggest production city
- Amount of beakers per turn
- Amount of commerce per turn
- Key techs discovered
- Power in the power graph
